Stardom 6/6/2026 Results (Updated x2)

Stardom began their June house show schedule today in Sendai.

Today’s event was held at Sendai Pit in Sendai and can be watched on demand on Stardom World. You can also watch the first 3 matches FOR FREE on YouTube.

The paid attendance was not announced. So not a sellout then.

Although not announced publicly, there is/was no Hazuki at this weekend’s events. Continued US participation in All Elite Wrestling.

Match 1: Maki Itoh, Kikyo Furusawa & Rian beat Ami Sohrei, Hina & Tomoka Inaba. Rian pinned Hina.

Match 2: Maika & HANAKO beat Starlight Kid & AZM, Koguyma & Waka Tsukiyama and Saya kamitani & Rina in a 4-way when HANAKO pinned Tsukiyama.

Match 3: Natsupoi, Yuna Mizumori & Aya Sakura beat Syuri, lady C & Ranna Yagami. Sakura pinned C.

Match 4: Miyu Amasaki beat Ema Maishima.

Match 5: Natsuko Tora, Konami, Ruaka & Azusa Inaba beat Hanan, Saya Iida, Matoi Hamabe & Utami Hayashishita. Ruaka pinned Hayashishita with a Dharma-style German suplex hold. That’s significant for Ruaka. Yes, Hayashishita is basically starting over in Stardom after leaving a couple years ago but she is still considered one of the top wrestlers in Japan right now. And while an 8-woman tag match it still has to be one of the biggest wins yet for the young Ruaka in her career.

Main Event: Sayaka Kurara, Saori Anou & Anne Kanaya beat Suzu Suzuki, Akira Kurogame & Xena. Kurara pinned Kurogame after Tokimeki Spear.

The next event is tomorrow at Light Cube Utsunomiya in Tochigi. Live streaming on Stardom World will begin TONIGHT at 9 PM PT/midnight ET.

In other news, there were a few match announcements today for 6/14 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and the next PPV on 6/20:. For 6/14 the first announced match was Kurara vs. Kanaya in a NON-TITLE match. However, this could help Kanaya get into Cosmic Angels. Also announced for was Future Of Stardom Champion Ranna Yagami vs. Miku Kano for the title. Yagami chose Kano after an independent event the other day. 2 other title matches are also set for 6/14: Goddesses Of Stardom Champions AZM & Miyu Amasaki vs. Hazuki & Koguma for the titles (Hazuki should be back for that) and Artist Of Stardom Champions Ami Sohrei, Hina & Lady C vs. Natsupoi, Yuna Mizumori & AYa Sakura for the titles. For the Artist titles, the winners will defend on 6/20 vs. Maki Itoh, Kikyo Furusawa & Rian. It appears Rian has aligned herself with Itoh & Furusawa as of today.
Including above, 6/20 now has 4 title matches. The rest so far are IWGP Women’s Champion Syuri vs. Rina Yamashita for the title, Wonder Of Stardom Champion Hanan vs. Saya Iida for the title and World Of Stardom Champion Sayaka Kurara vs. Suzu Suzuki for the title. They haven’t said so yet outside of the Stardom World schedule but 6/20 will be a PPV.

UPDATE: Injury Report-apparently Tsukiyama was injured during today’s event. Unspecified. Out tomorrow. She was to have faced Xena. Maika is the replacement and will be in 2 matches.

UPDATE 2: It now looks like Hazuki is off upcoming events from 6/26-6/28 and MAYBE Korakuen Hall in 6/30. More AEW participation as she will be in a tournament final at the upcoming Forbidden Door PPV on 6/28 in the US.

Pro Wrestling NOAH 6/6/2026 Results

Pro Wrestling NOAH continued the NEO Global Tag League today in Akita.

Today’s event was held at Furusato Village Dome Theater in Akita and can be watched on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE.

The announced paid attendance was 525.

Match 1: Daiki Odashima beat Hiroto Tsuruya.

Match 2: Eita beat Atsushi Kotoge & Black Menso-re in a 3-way by pinning Menso-re.

Match 3: Masa Kitamiya, Takashi Sugiura, Kai Fujimura & Jun Masaoka beat Kid Lykos 1 & 2, Hi69 & Hajime Ohara. Sugiura pinned Ohara after Olympic Yosen Slam.

Match 4: Tetsuya Naito, BUSHI & RYUSEI beat Karl Anderson, Doc Gallows & Yuto Koyanagi. BUSHI beat Koyanagi with a reverse Boston Crab.

Match 5; Kaito Kiyomiya, Alejandro & AMAKUSA beat Tetsuya Endo, HAYATA & Midori Takahashi. Kiyomiya pinned Takahashi after Shining Wizard.

NEO Global Tag League Block B:
Match 6: Naomichi Marufuji & Kenoh beat KENTA & Katsumi Inahata. Marufuji pinned Inahata after a round fist.
Match 7: Yoshiki Inamura & Stallion Rogers beat Manabu Soya & Yuki Iino (DDT). Inamura pinned Iino after DIS CHARGE.
Main Event: OZAWA & Tadasuke beat Kazuyuki Fujita & Mohammed Yone. OZAWA pinned Yone after a swan dive moonsault.

Standings (Block B):
1-Marufuji/Kenoh, 3-1, 6 pts
2-Inamura/Rogers, 3-1, 6 pts
3-Soya/Iino, 3-1, 6 pts
4-OZAWA/Tadasuke, 2-2, 4 pts (OUT)
5-Fujita/Yone, 1-3, 2 pts (OUT)
6-KENTA/Inahata, 0-4, 0 pts (OUT)
The winners advance to the Finals. It’s almost certainly going to come down to tiebreakers and who wins the Marufuji/Kenoh-Inamura/Rogers match. The simple: Inamura/Rogers advance is they win. The not-so-simple: If Marufuji/Kenoh win, Soya/Iino must lose for them to advance. If Marufuji/Kenoh and Soya/Iino both win, Soya/Iino advance on tiebreakers (they beat Marufuji/Kenoh). OZAWA/Tadasuke can’t advance because they lost to both Marufuji/Kenoh & Inamura/Rogers despite beating Soya/Iino, plus they would need to win AND have a no contest in the other match.

The next event is tomorrow at Kasai Sports Center in Aomiri with the last day of Block A. Live streaming on WRESTLE UNIVERSE will begin TONIGHT at 8 PM PT/11 PM ET.

Dragon Gate 6/5/2026 Results (Updated x3)

Dragon Gate continued the Rainbow Gate 2026 Tour today with the second half of a Tokyo doubleheader.

Today’s event was held at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo and can be watched on demand on DRAGONGATE NETWORK. This was also a live GAORA SPORTS broadcast in Japan. You can also watch the first match FOR FREE on YouTube.

The paid attendance has not yet been announced. (UPDATE: The announced paid attendance was 1107)

Match 1: Mochizuki Junior & Riiita beat Homare & Kazuma Kimura. Junior pinned Kimura with a German suplex hold.

Match 2: Ultimo Dragon, Masaaki Mochizuki, Don Fujii & Toru Owashi (DDT) beat YAMATO, Dragon Kid, BxB Hulk & KAGETORA. Mochizuki pinned KAGETORA after Twister.

Match 3; TBA, revealed at match time to be Danshoku Dieno (DDT), beat Jiro Shinbashi.

Match 5: Kzy, Genki Horiguchi, Susumu Yokosuka, Pinch Tominaga & JACKY “FUNKY” KAMEI beat Strong Machine J, Flamita, GuC, @KEY & U-T. Kzy pinned J after KZ Time.

Match 6: Open The Brave Gate Champion Ryoya Tanaka beat Naruki Doi to retain the title. V11(!) for Tanaka. That ties the all-time record for successful defenses (Pac). When he goes for the sole top spot is TBA but I’m thinking it will be at Kobe Pro Wrestling Festival 2026 in July. As far as longest reign, he still has 4 months to go (Pac reigned for just under 15 months) but if the next defense is as hinted at in Kobe, he will reach one year as champion.

Main Event: Madoka Kikuta, Kota Minoura & Jason Lee beat KAI, ISHIN & Yoshiki Kato. Minoura pinned ISHIN after Golden Rose.

The next event is tomorrow at Espoiro Isanuma in Saitama for the first half of a weekend doubleheader. There will be no live or on demand broadcast.

UPDATE: Based on social media comments from Yoshioka, it appears D’Courage officially disbanded today (it was just him & Tanaka after Dragon Dia quietly left the promotion earlier this year). It also looks like, based on a post by DRAGONGATE NETWORK, Shun Skywalker is leaving the promotion. Announced and pretty much confirmed by GM Ryo Saito. It’s not immediate though. Updates to come. (UPDATE: Nothing further yet but it’s worth noting he was already being advertised for 6/14 in Gifu for a hometown event with Problem Dragon)

UPDATE 2: It’s now official. Tanaka goes for the Brave Gate defenses mark at Kobe Pro Wrestling Festival on 7/20. The challenger: Homare. Also set for 7/20 is the likely main event: Open The Dream Gate Champion Madoka Kikuta vs. TBA for the title. TBA will be the winner of Kzy vs. El Cielo on 7/2.
There also was an exhibition match before the event today but results were not posted. It was Yasushi Kanda vs. Mitsuki Oshoma.

UPDATE 3: Tokyo Sports reports the last match for Skywalker before leaving the promotion will be 7/20. This is not official, however.

News: TAKAYAMANIA Returning In 2026

Earlier today it was announced by Minoru Suzuki and picked up by Puroresu Today that TAKAYAMANIA, the annual Yoshihiro Takayama fundraiser event, will return this year with TAKAYAMANIA EMPIRE 5. Scheduled for 9/7 at Korakuen Hall in Tokyo, it will feature a number of promotions and wrestlers participating with all profits (after necessary expenses for the event) being donated to help with Takayama’s medical treatment.

Once one of the most feared and heralded big men in Japanese pro wrestling, Takayama suffered a severe cervical cord injury on May 4, 2017 and has been paralyzed since but continues rehabilitation and this event has become an annual tradition to support his recovery, in addition to bank accounts managed by Takayama’s wife. As far as broadcast plans, it will be streamed live for free on ABEMA in Japan, and hopefully on demand on WRESTLE UNIVERSE shortly after.

More as it becomes available.
